Capture One exported pictures with crushed blacks
Hi
I tried CaptureOne in replacement of lightroom. The software is really nice and fast but there's a kind of problem with the exported pictures.
As you can see in the joined file, the exported file (on the right) have blacks crushed instead of the one displayed in C1 (left).
This happens with every RAW I treat (.CR2 and .CR3 files).
I export the files in sRGB. My screen is calibrated.
Does anybody knows how and why this is happening ?

How do the jpg images look if you open them in Capture One?
Does Photos use sRGB or AdobeRGB?0 -
The issue is from the viewer you use to view your JPEGs. As Grant suggested, open your JPEGs in Capture One, or look for a better viewer.
Understand that every software tool that displays your images must render the image on screen from R-G-B data. Less sophisticated tools take a shortcut on rendering, which makes them often quite quick. That is their purpose. They are not after the best image quality.0 -
Thanks.
Indeed when I open a jpg using CaptureOne and the Windows photo viewer, they actually looks quite different. In C1, the colors are slightly more faded and the blacks are not totally black.
If I open in C1 a jpg exported by C1, the render match what I see in the CR3 file. But if I open it with the windows photo viewer, it looks more contrasted and saturated.
This issue does not happens with lightroom where the exported pictures looks like the one displayed during the process. So not sure if it's more a problem coming from C1 or the windows image viewer.
How do you think I can correct that ? Do you have any recommandation for a better image viewer ?0 -
What you describe is the sort of result one can get is viewing an image produces in one colour space through software expecting to use a different colour space. Typically with jpg files a mix up for AdobeRGB and sRGB standards. 0 -

Yes indeed but I checked the export profile and the JPGs are in sRGB, and the same file is not displayed the same way using different apps ☹️0 -

It is not a profile mismatch but just a bad viewer, as I explained further. Recommendations? Use a good viewer. You already mentioned two, Capture One and Lightroom.0 -

Those two doesn't display the file the same way. One of them isn't as good as it claim to be... How to know which one shows the real colors ?0 -
I wonder what you mean by “the real colours� The same as your raw file looked? The same as you get from your printer?

I worked in sRGB, which is a low standard, on a calibrated screen. So theorically the colors displayed on this screen should be the same with 2 viewers reading a jpg file, right ? All is calibrated, all is standard. Why do I see something different ?0 -

Not all viewer apps are colour managed. The standard Windows viewer isn’t, I believe.
